Spyderco Forums

Can anyone explain in realistic terms the shipping process from when a knife leaves Golden till it gets to me? If I were to get it the day my dealer gets it. The ATR's have shipped this week? When can I expect to see mine? I am really curious about the realistic process of how knives get shipped and the time line for delivery. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I posted this on Blade Forums and got as much attention as a geriatric prostitute. I realize it is not a sexy question but I am curious. Thanks JFC

Geriatric prostitute, huh?
No question is too unsexy for this group.

I think the process is sort of random. I've never figured it out. I am a collector (#37), so you would assume my knives would be made in an early run (#38, I guess), and be shipped early.

Not.

I often see new models already on ebay before mine arrive. Mine must go to my dealer, then me, but even with that, it could be an extra month. So I just sit in my padded room, in my straightjacket...and patiently wait.
